Chargepipe Options In The UK?

stardustin86 · 08-11-2021, 02:01 AM

Hello all, just moved over to the UK and got myself a used F87 M2. First stop would be to get rid of the stock charge pipe.

I've done some basic research and it seems Masata & Forge are quite popular over here. Anyone has experience with these or if you all have any other recommendations on the best charge pipe you guys normally get?

Back home VRSF, ER were the more popular ones, but happy to try out these UK based brands if the feedback is positive.

Welcome buddy, I have the Masata on mine and so far no problems at all.

I've got some fitted photos and can DM you if you are interested?

Yes please, that would be great! Did you get them direct from Masata or through a dealer?

I got mine through ML Performance as they offer free carriage, service is also typically tip top.

Images sent, let us know how you get on!

Jokes aside I've got a Forge chargepipe on mine, I know a few of my friends who went for the Masata charge pipe instead - don't think you can go wrong either way!

Parts wise like what someone else mentioned above ML Performance are a pretty big one in the UK, offering almost anything from charge pipes to turbos etc. Good service and typically fast delivery.

Evolve and MoTech are other big players and provide decent options too.

Cheers, back home I typically go to Kies for my performance parts. Even got a free charge pipe off them once in a lucky draw.

But doubt they have much of a presence here in the UK

Thank you so much, I will certainly post before and afters once I get them! Although not sure I have much to show since it's just a chagepipe.

Maybe when I save up a bit more I'll get more parts...

I have forge. Saw NVM use it on their M2 and perhaps another tuner too so good enough for me.

All of them for the platform are fine there are no duffers out there as far as I know...

Cheers buddy, you got the Forge one right off their website?

You are certainly most welcome

I went with the Masata one that's designed only to fit the M2. Fitment is ok and no issues up till now.
I have a few friends that went with Forge and that one is quite decent too. I know there are other UK brands that aren't that popular too like MMR and MTC, not too sure about fitment for those though

Yeah I was quite surprised with the options here, didn't know there were such brands since everyone's just talking about VRSF and ER

Oh didn't know there were such pipes. Most of the ones I've seen were for the usual F series with N55 engine.

I actually got my forge from the eBay store for WG motorworks but eBay at the time was doing 15% off I think so got that and turbosmart DV for a lot cheaper than I had previously allowed for!

That's great, I will check them out too in the future!

Eventually got the Masata CP direct from their website as they offer free delivery. No problems to report so far!!

Noice. FBO Def wakes the car up but keeps it all stock feeling still. Should have been like that from factory.
